We booked 2 nights at the beach hotel La Chancla, a small hotel which lies directly on the beach. When researching hotels we found that most hotels have a major road separating the hotel from the beach, and we didn´t want that kind of separation! We wanted really easy access to water, and thus La Chancla was the perfect choice. The back of the hotel was directly on a beautifully sandy beach, and our room had an amazing view of the water! It also provided us with a basket of fresh fruit in our room every day. Amazing!
We arrived at 10:30am, so we had the entire day (and the next) to relax at this beautiful hotel.
The hotel had a rooftop hot tub with a great view of the water. We went there first. Chad didn´t want to go into the water because the temperature outside was over 40 degrees (Celsius). But since it was so hot outside, the hot tub actually felt cold! It was nice and refreshing!
We spent the rest of the day at the beach:
The view from our room window:
In the evenings all the bars and cafes along the water came alive and filled with people eating and drinking with friends. Along the water, on the sand or next to the sand on a patch of grass, there were many small bonfires in little boats. These little bonfires were used to cook fresh fish from the sea in little restaurants. We thought we´d try it out!
Here´s a photo of Chad watching the fish being cooked in the bonfire boat:
Our dinner:
The next night we had some more fresh seafood at another restaurant. He had swordfish and I had squid. So delicious!! Our two days of relaxing on the beach was exactly what we needed. It was a wonderful end to our time together as Chad was returning to the cold of Canada two days later and I was continuing on to London, England.
I've been to that beach too, lovely isn't it?!
